Jonathan Bernier will get the start against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night.

The Leafs come in with a chance to play spoiler to the Panthers' playoff aspirations, and Bernier could be the man to nail in their wheel. Bernier, while having only beaten Florida once in three starts with Toronto, has allowed nine goals on 102 shots. Not too shabby. On the season, Bernier has a 18-19-5 record with a .915 save percentage and a 2.72 GAA in 43 appearances this season. Mar 3 - 5:40 PM

Jonathan Bernier made 19 saves in Toronto’s 4-0 loss to the Canadiens on Saturday night.

Bernier gave up two goals in the first and one in the third, with the final one going in with the net empty. Bernier has had an up-and-down season, with a 2.72 goals-against average and .915 save percentage. Feb 28 - 10:07 PM

Jonathan Bernier will get the start against Montreal Saturday night.

After not winning a game for 10 straight games, Bernier has won two in a row. He will be in tough against Montreal and the superlative Carey Price. If you feel lucky, start Bernier. Feb 28 - 11:38 AM

Jonathan Bernier was great on Thursday night, making 47 saves on 49 shots to help the Leafs beat Philadelphia 3-2.

The Flyers scored two goals in the final 10 minutes to make it close, but ultimately Bernier earned his first back-to-back victory since Dec. 23 and 30th. This season, Bernier is 18-18-5 with a .916 save percentage and 2.71 goals against average. Feb 26 - 11:41 PM

He will be playing in his first game with the Leafs since he was acquired in the trade that sent Daniel Winnik to Pittsburgh. "I'm an energy guy," Sill said of his style. "I'm a fourth-liner and that probably isn't going to change. I'm not going to put up a lot of points, but I'm going to give a spark when the team needs it." He is slated to play with Peter Holland and David Booth on the fourth line.

James van Riemsdyk scored the game-winning goal for the Maple Leafs in their 4-3 overtime victory over the Jets on Saturday night.

JVR scored with 1:13 left in the game. The goal is his first in 11 games, and just his third point during that timeframe. That he has 22 goals and 45 points this season is pretty amazing considering the Leafs have struggled mightily since a hot start to the season. Nazem Kadri and Daniel Winnik each picked up a goal and an assist. Leo Komarov got a shorthanded goal. Morgan Rielly assisted twice and finished with a plus-three rating.

The Toronto Maple Leafs dropped a 4-0 decision to the Washington Capitals on Sunday.

The Leafs have now been shut out in back-to-back games against Montreal and Washington this weekend. Phil Kessel finished the game with a minus-1 rating and five shots on goal in just over 18 minutes of ice time. Toronto has now lost 16 straight games on the road.

Joffrey Lupul, Dion Phaneuf, and Dion's wife, Elisha Cuthbert, have gotten legal representation after an inappropriate Tweet made it onto a TSN broadcast.

Gall Legge Grant & Munroe LLP have written a letter demanding that TSN formally apology and "pay a significant amount of damages to each of our clients for broadcasting a false and defamatory tweet during their trade deadline show yesterday." The author of the Tweet in question, Anthony Adragna, is also receiving a similar letter. Gall Legge Grant & Munroe LLP go on to state that a failure to comply immediately will result in a lawsuit against TSN and Adragna, per their clients instructions. The letter also states that Phaneuf and Lupul won't be talking about the matter to the media.

Komarov hadn't scored a goal in any of his last 16 contests coming into this one. The 28-year-old got off to a solid start in 2014-15 but he has tailed off as the season has gone on. Komarov has six goals and 21 points in 41 games this year.

Richard Panik scored a goal and added an assist in the Leafs' 3-2 loss to the Islanders Thursday night.

The Leafs are in Panik-mode, meaning in addition to losing 21 of their past 25 games, Richard Panik has seen increased ice time. In his past five games, he has played 12:45 or over, whereas in the previous five games he never surpassed 11 minutes. This increased role does not pad his fantasy value in any way, playing on the offensively inept Leafs.

Nathan Horton has been acquired by Toronto in exchange for David Clarkson.

Horton hasn't played this season because of a back injury and he was limited to just 36 games last year. He inked a seven-year deal with the Blue Jackets in July of 2013. It's unclear when he'll be available to return and there's a chance that his career could be over.

Dion Phaneuf wasn't traded Monday, but the Leafs were in talks with the Detroit Red Wings about a move, according to several reports.

Other teams also asked about the Leafs captain, but the team feels they can get a better deal if they remain patient. If Phaneuf gets moved it could come in the off-season when teams have more cap flexibility.

Morgan Rielly apologized for comments he made to reporters on Friday morning.

Rielly was talking about turning the Leafs' season around and he said: "you are not here to be a girl about it." Some people on social media took offence to that comment but Rielly has since apologized. "I want to apologize to any people I hurt this morning with my words," Rielly said. "It’s a phrase that has to be taken out of today’s society. I didn’t mean it the way it was taken at all and I’m sorry for the way it came across."

"It's nice having a coach with that much experience," Gardiner said. "He sees the game (like us). He just retired recently. He's played during this style of hockey. He knows a lot about it. He's a good guy to talk to about some of the bad things you're doing and some of the good things." Staios has been working with Gardiner and Morgan Rielly a lot since Peter Horachek took over as the club's head coach. Gardiner has received more than 20 minutes of ice time in his past 10 outings. Offensively he has struggled this season with only two goals and 14 points in 57 games.

Roman Polak will face his former team for the first time when the Maple Leafs visit St. Louis Saturday night.

It will be the first time the the two teams have faced each other since the Polak-Carl Gunnarsson trade over the summer. Neither of these players holds much, if any, fantasy value but it will emotional for both of them just the same.

Tim Erixon will pair with Stephane Robidas in Erixon's Maple Leafs debut on Tuesday night against the Panthers.

In 27 games this season with Columbus and Chicago, Erixon has posted six points, eight penalty minutes, and 14 blocks and hits. Virtually all of which with Columbus. Tonight will be Erixon's 79th career NHL games since being draft 23rd overall by Calgary in 2009, and Toronto is his fifth franchise. Though still only 24 years old, it's difficult to say that Erixon has any fantasy value.

Jonathan Bernier will get the start against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night.

The Leafs come in with a chance to play spoiler to the Panthers' playoff aspirations, and Bernier could be the man to nail in their wheel. Bernier, while having only beaten Florida once in three starts with Toronto, has allowed nine goals on 102 shots. Not too shabby. On the season, Bernier has a 18-19-5 record with a .915 save percentage and a 2.72 GAA in 43 appearances this season.

James Reimer allowed three goals in on 31 shots in Sunday's 4-0 loss to Washington.

Jonathan Bernier was blanked 4-0 by Montreal on Saturday and now Reimer suffered the same loss to the Capitals. Reimer has now lost 11 of his last 12 decisions dating back to December 21st. The 26-year-old's record now falls to 7-14-0 with a 3.14 goals-against-average and a .906 save percentage. There is an outside chance that Reimer could be traded by Monday's trade deadline.
